'There it is the city of Liverpool' says Henry Kitto, master of the Hannah Leigh three days out of Fowey in Cornwall with a cargo of China Clay standing beside Ben Pascoe, 'a cesspool of humanity and no mistake. Yet full of opportunity for them that can grab it...'
Thus Ben sets out to make his fortune unbeknown to him from the sides that would fight the American Civil War on the streets of the city. A city that was said to fly more Rebel flags than the capital of the Confderate States at Richmond, Virginia. There is a fortune to be made and lost in trade with the Confederacy by running the Yankee blockade.
Perfect for fans of Robert Harris and William Boyd.
